Braun Strowman wants to “finish his story” before he retires.
The former WWE Universal Champion has had a tough few years. While he won the Universal Championship from Goldberg at WrestleMania 36, he did so in front of zero fans due to the global pandemic at the time.
He was released by the WWE the following year due to budget cuts. While Triple H rehired Braun Strowman in 2022, a severe neck injury hampered his second run, and threatened to end his career completely. However, he has since returned to the ring on WWE RAW.
Braun Strowman spoke with Busted Open Radio and discussed his WWE run. He made it clear that he wanted to finish his story and win the world title in front of a crowd. (H/T to Ella Jay of Wrestling Inc. for transcription)
“After taking that vacation that I took, and then out with my neck injury and stuff like that, it gave me a whole different perspective of how special this is and how quickly it can be over.” Braun Strowman said. “It made me take a step back and appreciate all the hard work. Everything that’s been put in to get to where I am. It made me go, ‘I have to stay on the gas. I can’t let my foot off the pedal.’. This window of doing this stuff for all of us is only so big. It’s making the most out of it. And now it’s the mindset of how, how can I continue this legacy, my career? How can I further this?”
“So many people get to finish their story. Drew McIntyre talked about winning this championship in front of nobody, but how he wanted to do in front of people. I won my singles Universal Championship in front of nobody. I sure would like to do it in front of 100,000 people.”
